Max & Moritz
I already re-titled this post twice before even starting to write anything LOL! Confusion reigns. This morning I went – undrugged – to the doc and had lots of blood drawn; well at least it seemed a lot. I hope it will produce at least some conclusive result. I spent over 90 minutes in the waiting room, there were that many people… In the meantime the pain continued unabated, and I wanted to kick myself for not at least having taken two panadols or something. Oh well, that passed, too. I finally got a referral for the outpatients clinic of the local hospital, but that appointment can take ages to materialise… so I’m keeping fingers crossed I’ll be still alive by then.
Arriving back home I popped a couple of sopadeines and drank a litre of water. AND did some serious relaxing out in the garden. A couple of days ago, our new ‘mom’ (funny, we actually haven’t given her a real name yet!) brought back her two little ones, but they are awfully shy. And extremely quick when playing hide-and-seek! I interrupted my relaxing session a couple of times for a few shots, they are just so irresistible!
The white-black(ish) one is a little less shy and did let me near him a few times. The other one is more elusive… And even when I get a shot at him, the noise from the shutter release (even from several metres’ distance!) alerts him and he runs as if the devil was after him!
He would never let me get this close… the above is actually a crop of this one:
And after that he promptly knew what I’d been up to…. he gave me chance for one last go, and was gone!
Again, here’s the full frame of the pic:

We haven’t given names to the little ones yet, either… at first I was drawn to Laurel & Hardy, but the family didn’t approve. Today Max and Moritz came to my mind… two little naughty boys from the German fairytale by Wilhelm Busch (see picture on the right – almost spitting images of our kittens, wouldn’t you agree?? LOL!)
